Building new light

Yea, they typically make the dome shape opticals for individual diodes or large ones for cobs. Not sure if they make optics for strips, but i know some manufacturers such as fluence do use strips and still have optics. But they may be proprietary.
 
May I ask, is that a Roleadro/Galaxy Hydro unit in the topside pic of your build? If so, what's been your experience, good and bad, with it? Was thinking hard about using a couple of these cheap units on my first year grows instead of building my own. The setup cost difference is $300-$400 upfront and would greatly shorten the time to start growing.
 
Did you use the lenses? After reading some of Dangerdan's articles, I've become convinced it'll be necessary to collimate the light source to more efficiently use the energy produced. Didn't know if there were optics available for LED strips so you answered one of my upcoming questions. Thanks.

No, it's a morsen 1000 watt. It was broken so i replaced the panel with cobs and mono LEDs. I'm sure the galaxys will work fine. I don't like them because it seems minimalist.

I do have 3 unaltered 300 watt red/blue galaxy hydros just sitting here 😉
 
Oh yeah, read your posts about fixing up broken fixtures with your own LEDs. Great posts btw. On those units, did you re-use the original drivers?
